2009年12月英语四级听力考试全真模拟题(1)

　　W: Oh, we must be in the same class. Introduction to British Literature?

　　M: Yes, that’s the one. Were you there yesterday for the first class?

　　W: I sure was. Professor Robert really seems to know his subject.

　　M: Yes, I took his Shakespeare course last semester and it was very good. He likes listening to his students.

　　W: That’s a relief. I’m a biology major and I was a little uncertain about taking an English course.

　　M: I’m an English major and this is a required course. But now I’m in trouble because I’m not sure I can afford this book.

　　W: Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we split the cost and share the book?

　　M: Sounds great. Do you live on campus?

　　W: Yeah, I live on the 10th floor of Butler Hall.

　　M: Perfect. I live on the 3rd floor of Butler. We should have no trouble sharing the book. I can bring it up to your room right after I wrap up the assignment.

　　W: It’s a deal.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　19. Where is the conversation most probably taking place?

　　【解析】选[A]。分析选项发现四个选项均是由表示方位的介宾短语“in+名词”构成，表明本题考查的是对地点的判断，我们可以根据行为活动和代表性的词语来判断地点。对话一开始女士的buy that book即表明对话发生在书店内。而图书馆一般与借书、还书有关。

　　20. Which class are the man and the woman taking together?

　　【解析】选[C]。四个选项的内容在录音中都有提及，关键是听清题目问的是男士和女士一起讨论的是什么课。回忆女士所说的in the same class和Introduction to English Literature以及男士的肯定回答Yes可以得出答案。

　　21. What does the man think about Professor Robert?

　　【解析】选[D]。根据[B]、[C]、[D]可以推断He指的是一个老师或者教授。录音中提到了Professor Robert，女士说Professor Robert really seems to know his subject，男士肯定了女士的说法，说Professor Robert的课very good并且喜欢listening to his students，由此可以判断Professor Robert是一个优秀的教授。
